I also apologize for trying to riff on your reply "real time" in a noisy cafe after a couple of Belgian beers with high alcoholic content. In retrospect, I guess all I was really trying to accomplish was to find out why you (or anyone) were so taken by Robin, either "back in the day" or more recently, on FFL. Your occasional descriptions of him as "noble" confound me because I never saw that in the things he wrote here, back when I was still trying to read them. To me it was pretty much all stuck-in-one's-head intellectual egobabble, with generous helpings of abuse and over-emotionalism served up on the side. The only feeling I've ever gotten from you as to what attracted you to him in the first place was that he represented some kind of "adventure" for you. I guess that's as close as I'm ever going to get to understanding what you saw/see in him, so I'll leave it at that.
